Concord is a layered shooter built from Coffee Liqueur, Baileys Irish Cream, and Overproof Rum in equal one-third-ounce measures. The coffee liqueur forms the dense base, Baileys creates the creamy center, and overproof rum finishes the shot with a strong, dry top layer.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

  • Coffee Liqueur - roasted bittersweet base.
  • Baileys Irish Cream - creamy middle layer.
  • Overproof Rum - high-proof top layer.

Equipment

  • Shot Glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Jigger

Layering Is the Whole Technique

The three equal pours are easy to remember. Clean separation depends on pouring slowly over the back of a spoon, not on any flaming presentation.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Use another Irish cream instead of Baileys.
  • Use another coffee liqueur.
  • Replace Overproof Rum with standard-proof aged rum for a softer version; layering may change.

Helpful Tips

  • Chill the ingredients before building.
  • Pour slowly from densest to lightest.
  • Keep the spoon close to the previous layer.
  • Serve immediately once layered.
  • Do not ignite the rum; the shot is complete without flame.
